In this card game, players are trying to collect food items in order to cook a delicious pot of soup. Each food item card is printed with a positive or negative point value, based on how well it would go in the soup. Players are dealt a hand of cards, and then one player is designated as the Pot Master, a role that rotates each round. The Pot Master collects one card from each player, including himself, and then redistributes the cards face down. Players must decide whether to claim the face down card or trade it with another. The goal is to attain the highest point value after all cards have been claimed.
